The Report

It is going to be very cold on our lower mainland lakes and ponds over the next while; most will be under ice by the weekend. We suggest you postpone your lake fishing until warmer weather returns.

The Thompson River is fair to good for steelhead, and rainbow. For steelhead try: Steelhead Nightmare, Big Black, Flat Black, Kaufmann Stone, Rolled Muddler, Steelhead Bee, Irresistible, October Caddis, or Stimulator.
